Wk of April 7-14, 2008: A World Driven by Hubris….

The most potentially pivotal days this week look to be Tuesday, April 8, Thursday April 10, and Monday April 14. As the world seems to be driven by hubris; those who seek to redraw the national borders of the world, determine the risings and fallings of economic prosperity, or even who and what is God in the minds of the people; they themselves are predictable the weaknesses of their own monumental egos.

The fire that the ego thrives on though goes both ways; that which it exalts it also burns. What is burned away is the cluttering brush of personality encumbrances, and eventually what is left is a purified soul consciousness. This is a better “ego” to rule the world than that gross, dense, self that is subject to the enslaving desires (lusts) of the physical body that a lot of our current “rulers” retain.

The most potentially pivotal days this week look to be Tuesday, April 8; Thursday April 10; and Monday April 14. As we hear of wars and rumors of wars seemingly all the time on the Internet, we can use this information to see how debate is either corroborated or not by the greater tide of affairs as reflected in the heavens above us.

As the world seems to be driven by hubris; those who seek to redraw the national borders of the world, determine the risings and fallings of economic prosperity, or even who and what is God in the minds of the people; they themselves are predictable the weaknesses of their own monumental egos. When the Sun aspects Jupiter on Thursday, April 10 this week, we may see a little bit of those egos at work, creating the world, but at the same time limiting their universal life expression.

The fire that the ego thrives on though goes both ways; that which it exalts it also burns. What is burned away is the cluttering brush of personality encumbrances, and eventually what is left is a purified soul consciousness. This is a better “ego” to rule the world than that gross, dense, self that is subject to the enslaving desires (lusts) of the physical body that a lot of our current “rulers” retain. So while some egos may swell, others may opt for a type of spiritual purification that brings one closer to immortality.

Mon, Apr 7 Fatal delusions of the mind may be brought out: unnecessary tendencies to be the enabler, the self-appointed savior, or the devil’s right hand. Retaining obsolete psychological crutches now could cause errors of judgment leading in extreme cases even to loss of life. Alternatively, spiritual and creative endeavors will be favored, especially in writing or speaking. The potential to see everything as one unified, holistic system is enhanced. Relationships may hit rocky patches, but the pain invoked will be just enough to incite both parties to resolve things. (Mercury semisquare Neptune, Venus quincunx Saturn)

Tue, Apr 8 Early on, you can expect an enhancement of the social graces that make life beautiful and fulfilling, but also a tremendous depth of motivation and potential for change. Some may even misuse this opportunity for their own ends, and the possibility to re-animate obsessive or compulsive behaviors is present. Relationship will be affected; and there could also be manifestations of physical/mechanical breakdown. (Venus quintile Jupiter, Sun tridecile Pluto) Wed, Apr 9 No peaking influences

Thur, Apr 10 The pace of events today may be quite “hot”. Strike the iron while it glows, they say. Some of the dangers present could be that of an unchecked ego and unbridled enthusiasm that ultimately goes nowhere. Conflicts, a sense of hysteria, or even accidents are possible. (Sun square Jupiter, Mercury square Mars)

Fri, Apr 11 An inhibiting, dark, or pessimistic influence may affect all energy today that causes obstructions or suppresses action, and may also activate negative states of mind which can precipitate illness, etc. Those who persevere though may find a greater sense of organization. Connections between others are highlighted. (Mercury sesquiquadrate Saturn, tridecile Juno)

Sat, Apr 12 Penetrative power may energize the mind and voice, breakthroughs are highly possible. Relationships may hit important junctures; but the choice is part ways, or resolve to stay together. (Mercury tridecile Pluto, Venus biquintile Saturn)

Sun, Apr 13 An exaggerated sense of possibilities may be present, causing one to boast or prematurely announce things. Actions and feelings may be overly influenced by predisposing hopes and dreams, so therefore the hopes and dreams that you act on should be good ones. Relationships will be highlighted. (Mercury square Jupiter, Sun sextile Neptune, Venus semisquare Neptune, Venus semisquare Node)

Mon, Apr 14 A deep underlying frustration may be brought out by dynamics of events. Hopefully this will fire determination and resolve to press on to the desired conclusion. Activities like weight training or hard physical labor are highlighted; with concentration you may find greater strength. Later, creative and spiritual activities will be enhanced. (Mars semisquare Saturn, Mercury sextile Neptune)
